used to hang the signs and size. Decorations, signs, banners, and similar materials may not be taped, nailed, stapled

unless pre-approved and authorized in writing from CCC Operations. Unauthorized move in and/or move out will
subject the GSC to current daily rental rates for space occupied.

equipment on facility carpeting or tile will require the use of floor protection to be provided and installed by the GSC.
Locations where pallets or crates are dropped or high-lifts operated may require a bed of GSC carpet or plywood on
top of the floor protection to further protect facility carpet and/or tile.
PUBLIC AREAS:
Masking Requirements: The CCC is a multi-purpose facility, and often there will be more than one event at one time in
the building. Therefore, the GSC might be required to mask off their set up or tear down so it is not visible to the general
public:

Digital Billboard FAQ
Exhibitor and Sponsor Opportunities: If you have exhibitors and/or sponsors who would like to purchase advertising on
the digital billboards during your event, please have them please contact Keith Dillion at 303.292.2450 or
[email protected]
Tips and Guidelines…
 Keep it simple – limit text and images to items that enhance the message.
 Bold is beautiful – Use bold font that is easy to read. Keep it to 10 words or less.
 Dark backgrounds with bright lettering work best.
If I give you direction, will you design it for me?
At this time, the CCC cannot provide design services.
I contracted my event through Visit Denver, don’t they provide this for me?
Events contracted by Visit Denver do receive standard welcome messaging provided and designed by Visit Denver.
However, additional messaging promoting the event is permissible. Please contact your Convention Services Manager
with any questions.
I designed the file and it looks really tiny. This can’t be right.
If you follow the specs, the file will be right. If you can easily read the font on your computer from a few feet back (when
zoom is at 100%), you will be able to read the sign from the street.
Can you accept any other formats besides JPG or WMV?
No, we cannot.
What dates will my message run?
For large scale public ticketed shows, your message will start running when tickets go on sale (up to 60 days prior to the
show date). For tradeshows, conventions or private meetings, your message will be displayed on event days only.
Exceptions to this may be made on a case by case basis. Contact Morgan Kusek at [email protected] or
303.228.8230.
Can exhibitors, vendors and sponsors advertise on the digital billboards?
Complimentary messaging is only available to promote the event itself. For example, “Welcome Hygiene Expo Sponsored
by Pepsi” is acceptable messaging. However, “Buy Pepsi at the Hygiene Expo” is NOT acceptable for non-paid
messaging. If you have exhibitors, vendors and/or sponsors who would like to purchase advertising on the digital
billboard during your event, please have them contact Keith Dillion at 303.292.2450 or [email protected].
I have an exclusive sponsor and don’t want a competitor advertised on the digital billboards at the same time.
What can I do?
Please contact Morgan Kusek at [email protected] or 303.228.8230.
I’m holding an event at another venue. Can I advertise that event as well?
Complimentary messaging is limited to only events in the venues owned and operated by Denver’s Division of Arts &
Venues Denver. On rare occasions, paid advertising for events at other venues may be approved. Please contact Keith
Dillion at 303.292.2450 or [email protected].
I am watching the digital billboard and I do not see my message displayed.
Please contact Morgan Kusek at [email protected] or 303.228.8230.
My event ends at 10:00am. Can I make sure the digital billboards aren’t displaying my message after we’re gone?
Yes. Please mention any special requests to Morgan Kusek when you submit your files.
Additional Questions? Please contact Morgan Kusek at [email protected] or 303.228.8230.
Please see examples on next page.
